Designer Austin McAdams channels the grace and mystique of the legendary Holly Golightly character in this intricate steel chair creation.
Blurring the lines between memory and imagination, this seating defies all norms by disregarding the conventional structural elements of a common chair. Inspired by the designer's urban commute through San Diego during his time at grad school, the structure is composed of intersecting pathways that stop and start where they please with no regard for where materials are normally expected to interact.
Made entirely out of welded steel with a matte white powder coating, the Holly Golightly steel chair design has a caged look that encapsulates those who sit on it, acting as a twist to the classic lawn chair.
